[Mouse Skywalker]

Hi Everyone, I just received an e-mail from Bob Gurr saying people can pre-order copies of his book "DESIGN: Just for Fun."

Here's a description of the book from the website:

The most thorough behind the scenes stories ever told about Themed Entertainment design at America's favorite destination resorts - Disneyland, Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Tour, Spectacular Las Vegas and more.

Legendary Imagineer Bob Gurr, as Principal Designer for hundreds of Themed Entertainment projects, takes the reader behind the scenes:

• Learn how Disneyland developed the first Monorail in America.

• See how Universal Studios Tour Animated King Kong came to be.

• A Pirate Battle Show and Sinking Ship in Las Vegas - how did they do it.

• Get the story of the animated Abraham Lincoln at the NY World's Fair.

• Meet the team behind the Los Angeles Olympics Flying Saucer.

And so much more...

Foreword by Marty Sklar

The book is slated for release in late spring/early summer 2012.

Here's a link to the site if you are interested.
